Under the gloomy sky, a candle was lit in the house.

There was a letterhead on the table, as well as a few sketches, and Cao Ren took out the corresponding engraving from the cabinet and printed it on the letterhead.

The intelligence transmitted by "Wei Spy" is vividly presented:

- "The van can stop the cavalry from charging." ”

- "Wooden oxen and horses can walk on their own on rough and dangerous roads to transport military rations. ”

- "A crossbow, ten shots in a row, within thirty steps, can kill the life of a strong ox!" ”

- "These three ordnance can be regarded as artifacts, General Wenyuan must be on guard. ”

- "If such an arms falls into the hands of the Sun-Liu Alliance, it is bound to... It will become a big trouble in Cao Wei's heart! ”

These words entered Cao Ren's pupils one by one.

It gave him a shocking feeling.

In Jiangling, the "Wei Spy", that is, the shopkeeper of the "Changxin" restaurant, codenamed "Nightingale", is Cao Peng, the deputy of the military department of Cao Wei's "intelligence agency".

Responsible for collecting information on Jiangling and reporting it to Cao Cao.

He was directly responsible to Cao Cao.

Because in the past two years, Cao Cao has been in Hanzhong...

Therefore, he ordered the "Nightingale" to hand over the information directly to Cao Ren, the clan brother stationed in Jingzhou, and he was the governor of everything in Jingzhou.

And "Nightingale" can be the deputy Cao Peng of the military department because of his rigor.

If he wrote so, it was definitely not apocryphal.

"What do you think, Berning?"

Cao Ren asked the full pet beside him.

As the role of Cao Cao specially sent to assist Cao Ren in garrisoning Xiangfan, the gloomy pupils of the full favor still stared at this letterhead.

It's like I've been thinking about it in my heart.

"'Nightingale' is an old man in the military department, his eyesight, the general should be trustworthy, want to come... The so-called 'partial van', 'wooden ox flowing horse', and 'repeating crossbow' will be very important in the upcoming Xiangfan battlefield! The general must not be guarded! ”

Cao Renmo held this letterhead and muttered: "Now that the eldest brother is in Hanzhong, reorganizing the soldiers and horses and raising military rations, it is a critical period for the south to go to Bashu. This Xiangfan battlefield, in this dry period, we must stabilize! ”

"What does the general mean... Do you want to join the fight for this batch of weapons? ”

"No..."Cao Ren Huo Ran turned his head, his eyes were full of light, and the momentum was like a burst of fire: "Merchants are pursuing profits, and there is no need to fight for this weapon head-on, hehe... Having said that, didn't the businessmen of Jiaozhou live in the restaurant of 'Nightingale'? ”

This...

Full of favors, "General Zixiao is planning to disintegrate from within?" ”

"Hahaha..."Cao Ren said with a smile: "Take defense as an attack, waiting for an opportunity to move, so many people in the merchant team? How can we not find a person who forgets his righteousness and is insatiable? ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ren instructed Man Chong, "This letter, you go back and forth, be sure to let the nightingale ask about the place where the merchant hides the ordnance!" ”

"And... The crossbow is portable and can be carried, and let him find a way to steal one, I don't believe it, just a crossbow, I am in the north of Huanghuang, and no one can imitate it? ”

Speaking of which, Cao Ren's pupils were shining...

It seems that he is full of confidence in this arrangement.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "General... On the side of the general, do you want to report this matter to him? ”

This one...

Hearing the name "Cao Chun", Cao Ren's eyes showed a few meaningful colors, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand.

"Don't tell him anyway."

Cao Ren seemed to be deflated all of a sudden.

He muttered to himself:

- "Zihe and these 5,000 tigers and leopards are strong, but they are too proud..."

- "Underestimate Guan Yu, this is not strong, but stupid!"

…

…

Guan Yu's study was very quiet.

He looked at Mi Fang in front of him. "What do you mean... Abandon this batch of ordnance? ”

"yes, what if you don't give up?" Mi Fang looked indignant, "Is there any reason for this?" Can the laws of Gangneung City govern? ”

He opened his mouth like a cannon, "As soon as the fourth prince opens his mouth, it is the sky-high price of 150,000 Hu grain, Guan Gong wants to come out again, how much can he get, 200,000 Hu grain?" This year's harvest in the four counties of Jingnan... There are not 200,000 hundreds... Guan Gong can't be for this batch of ordnance, our life in Jiangling City will be over, right? ”

Truly...

As Guan Lin said before, his father is a poor man!

The reason why Jiangling City was able to go on the Northern Expedition was entirely because there were a total of 30,000 people in the entire Guan Yu Guan family army in the six counties of Jingzhou.

But once you buy this ordnance, it's different.

It's not like tightening your belt, it's just that your belt is going to be sold.

But...

Guan Yu's eyes flickered, and what he was thinking in his heart... Actually, it's not how much money this batch of ordnance will sell.

It's not that he Guan Yu should be a son or not.

Instead, Yunqi raised this batch of ordnance to such a high price in one go.

- "What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?"

Out of curiosity about Yunqi's behavior, Guan Yu was interested in going deeper and wading into this troubled water.

- "No matter how bad it is, this money and food is also cheated by his own son... If it's pitted, it's pitted, it's not an outsider!"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu took a deep breath, "It is very important for this batch of ordnance to attack Xiangfan during the dry season, Zifang boldly went to talk to that businessman, boldly reported it, and reported it to 200,000 Hu!" Guan didn't believe it, 200,000 Hu couldn't take this batch of ordnance! ”

Is this up?

Mi Fang felt that the whole person was stupid, he felt that he was a big fool.

This thing...

That's it... Can you sell 200,000 pieces of grain?

Although it wasn't his own money, it was taken out of the granary of Taishou Mansion after all, and he felt distressed... He wanted to cry.

"Yun Chang, this... You can't do it rashly! ”

didn't wait for Mi Fang to finish speaking.

"Zifang!" Guan Yu's words were even more serious, "I know that Zifang's side is difficult, and Jiangling's treasury and granary are also difficult, but Zifang Ling has ever thought about it, how can my eldest brother and your eldest brother be easy?" ”

Guan Yu's eldest brother is Liu Bei, and Mi Fang's eldest brother is Mi Zhu, they are all in Yizhou and Chengdu!

"People say, 'no Xiangyang, Jingzhou is not enough to use force, no Hanzhong, then Bashu is not enough to be in danger, irrelevance, Henan can not live in Henan, this situation is also ', now Cao Cao with hundreds of thousands of people, in Hanzhong eyeing the tiger, to Longwang Shu!"

"If our army can't contain Jingzhou, then what kind of predicament will Guan's eldest brother and Zifang's eldest brother face? It's difficult for us, it's even more difficult for them, it's difficult for Jingzhou, and it's not easy for Yizhou! ”

This...

Hearing this, Mi Fang didn't persuade her.

He knows... Guan Yu moved Liu Bei and Mi Zhu out, and he couldn't persuade him.

In addition, the father and son of the Guan family are tense, and the fourth prince even wishes that Guan Yu would apologize to him in front of the people of the city, counting on the fourth prince to buy it and then lend it to Guan Gong, which is a fantasy.

"Well, whatever..."

Mi Fang shook her head and got up, her fat body propping up... It doesn't seem easy.

When he was able to stand still, he sighed in frustration.

"That's it, Jingzhou or Yun Chang has the final say!"

"Just buy it... Just then, just when the three counties of Changsha were gone at the beginning of September, and the fields in Jingnan this year were confiscated... That's it, that's it! ”

Indeed, if at the beginning of September, Sun Quan attacked Jingnan, and the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia were gone, then there would still be a hammer Tianfu? The 200,000 grains were also lost.

Think of it this way...

somewhat made Mi Fang's mood feel better.

It was Guan Yu, his Danfeng eyes were closed, and his heart was slightly worried.

- "Yunqi, there is only so much that can be done for the father!"

And Ma Liang, who was hiding behind the curtain.

After listening to the dialogue between Guan Yu and Mi Fang, I couldn't help but sigh.

- "Guan Gong... It's not easy to be a father! ”

…

…

On the edge of the Han River, the river is wide and the waves are turbulent.

In "Confucius's Family Sayings", there is the sage's emotion about the surging river.

- "The river to Jiangjin is not sheltered from the ark, and it cannot be waded." ”

From this, the turbulence of the Han River can be seen!

At this moment, Guan Lin, he and Lu Youjiao galloped around the bank of the Han River, and finally stopped at a stone pavilion, and the two horses walked slowly one after the other, with green mountains and green waters, and the water was shining, and the waves were magnificent.

Similar to the Jingjiang River, the Hanjiang River is the main flood season in July, August and September, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the main stream, and the flood peak is the most in July and August, which is the main flood season of the Yangtze River.

But... Once the dry season in October begins, the water of the Han River and the Jing River will quickly reced, and even in the end, the horses gallop through the river valley, like walking on the ground.

"The dry season is coming..."Guan Lin sighed. Time is running out..."

Lu You didn't dare to speak with his heels behind him, and now three days have passed since Guan Lin reported the 150,000 grains.

Just three days...

Gangneung Castle here can be described as a dark tide.

"Let's talk about it..."Guan Lin turned to look at Lu Youjiao.

Lu Youjiao was already ready, and hurriedly said: "The Jiangnan woman originally said that she was going to offer twice the price of the fourth son, but in the end, she couldn't take out so much, and the price of 200,000 Hu grains exploded. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin interrupted: "Can you figure out the identity of this Jiangnan woman?" ”

"I found something." Lu Youjiao shook his head first, and then nodded, "In the past few days, this Jiangnan woman has only seen his husband except for discussing the purchase of ordnance with 'You Tanzhi', but his husband... Recently, I have contacted many merchants in the Jiaozhou area, as well as merchants in Dongwu, saying that many merchant ships are arriving here, and it seems that they are intending... The money was delivered in batches. ”

"That's it?" Guan Lin muttered in his heart.

What is this, nothing is it!

Suddenly, Lu Youjiao felt the gang leader's dissatisfaction with the beggar gang's collection of intelligence.

Hurriedly said: "For this... Our beggar gang specially sent our brothers to check on these businessmen and got a piece of information. ”

"What?"

"The merchants that the man contacted were all related to the 'Lu' family in the four major families of Eastern Wu, 'Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang'?"

With Lu Youjiao's words, Guan Lin's eyes narrowed suddenly.

When he thought of the Lu family, the first thing he thought of was the one in the "company camp" - Lu Xun Lu Shenjun.

Secondly, he thought of the one who "Huai Tangerine" - Lu Ji.

It seems that there is a land pit in the back...

Wrong...

It's Lu Kang.

In ancient records, Lu Kang is quite capable of fighting.

also "fell in love and killed" with Cai Wenji's sister Cai Zhenji's son Yanghu!

Of course, this is the matter of the "Jin Dynasty", which is a different story compared to Wei, Shu, and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

And these are not the point either, the point is ... The Jiangnan woman who bought ordnance is related to the "Lu family"...

This thing suddenly has a little bit of meaning.

"Send more men and keep an eye on them." Guan Lin commanded.

Lu Youjiao nodded again and again.

After saying this Jiangnan woman, Lu Youjiao's words turned sharply, "In addition to this Jiangnan woman, there is also a force, which is extremely bold, after the helper quotes, he found 'Shi Huolong' on the same day, and asked how much he could sell, Shi Huolong casually said 250,000 Hu, who would have thought that they agreed without the slightest bargaining... Just ask when it will be delivered! ”

Call...

Guan Lin exhaled softly, muttering in his heart.

- "Rich people of the Three Kingdoms!"

Without waiting for Guan Lin to continue asking, Lu Youjiao's words came out again, "From the process of talking with them, there was a young boy who was drunk and leaked his mouth, and said... They are from Jiaozhou, and his father is the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou! ”

"Mutatine?" Guan Lin immediately blurted out...

"That's it..."Lu Youjiao hurriedly said: "This is after three rounds of drinking, after getting drunk, the young man said that he leaked his mouth, and his father was called Shi Chang!" ”

- "Obedient... I didn't expect the Jiaozhou taxi family to be involved."

Guan Lin's eyes narrowed again.

Thinking of the mutiny...

Guan Lin's first impression is that this old boy has the same hobby as his father Guan Yu, they both love to read "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", and they take a copy of "Spring and Autumn" at every turn, as if this is the only way to show their forced character!

However, what Daddy Guan Yu learned from the Spring and Autumn Period was pretending...

What people learned was that they used the Confucian idea of "benevolence" to extensively help the people.

And because of this...

The war in the Central Plains caused a large number of people to flee to Jiaozhou to develop the local...

It has promoted the economic and cultural development of Jiaozhou, and the most important thing is that Shibian is very rich!

And this...

- What a good thing!

Anyway, I didn't plan to really sell this batch of ordnance, one more came to send money, I'm glad to see it!

"He promised to buy it, didn't he?"

"I'm already scraping together money... There is still a three or five days to deliver, but this family has a condition, the place of the transaction needs to be at the junction of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, as long as it is the junction, anywhere. ”

"Promise him!" Guan Lin said with a smile. "Remember, let him send the deposit first."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin suddenly had an idea, he held his chin, and hurriedly said: "You might as well tell the Jiangnan woman that the place where we deliver the goods to her is also Jiaozhou!" ”

Yes... Yes...

Hearing this, Lu Youjiao was stunned.

He couldn't figure out what the helper meant.

But when I raised my head, I didn't dare to ask...

Guan Lin saw through his thoughts and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, do as I say, don't forget, the deposit must also be collected!" ”

Speaking of which...

Guan Lin's words changed, "What about my father?" Did he bid for this batch of arms..."

"It's also... 200,000 grains! ”

Lu Youjiao's answer surprised Guan Lin.

- "Daddy, it's time to breathe!"

- "You dare to give 200,000 grains for a poor man? The 30,000 Guan family troops under your command can't pass this year?"

I thought so in my heart, but I said it on my lips.

"That's what my dad said?"

"Mi Taishou personally promised..."Lu Youjiao said truthfully. He said... It was on Guan Gong's orders, but when he quoted this price, he somewhat gritted his teeth..."

Hehe...

It's no wonder if you don't gnash your teeth!

Guan Lin smiled, and he said coolly: "It's so good, the deposits of the three families have been promised, and my father has... Ahem..."

“… If you give him a face, you won't take a deposit! ”

People say, shop around.

But Guan Lin, this is a batch of ordnance sold by three...

- That's three times the joy!

It's just that he thought it was three.

Who would have thought that Lu You's feet are not over yet.

"Helper, actually... There are two more! ”

What?

Guan Lin was stunned, daring to love is not three times the happiness, this is five times the happiness!

He smiled and asked Lu Youjiao.

- "Can you be sure, which one is Cao Wei's?" ”

…
